Bob Madura, age 64, died Friday, January 23, 2009 at St. Elizabeth Hospital in Appleton. Bob was born in Chicago on April 8, 1944, son of the late Louis Madura and Marie (Neverowski) Madura Lesniak. Bob received a degree from DeVry Univeristy and spent most of his working years in electronics sales and service. He was very musically gifted, and learned to play many different instruments. He instilled that same love of music in his children. He also shared his gift of music with the residents and nurses at several nursing homes. He was proud of his military training, and also enjoyed motorcycles, speed, and boating and camping at Green Lake. He was also very proud of the home he and his family constructed on Pine Street in Wausau. He was a man of profound faith, and passionately shared that faith with others in order to lead them to Jesus.
